Abstract (data abstract)
CERN-LHC. The transverse momentum $p_{\rm T}$ dependence of the nuclear modification factor $R_{\rm AA}$ and the centrality dependence of the average transverse momentum $\langle p_{\rm T} \rangle$ for inclusive J/$\psi$ have been measured with ALICE for Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV in the e+e- decay channel at mid-rapidity ($|y|$ < 0.8). The $\langle p_{\rm T} \rangle$ is significantly smaller than the one observed for pp collisions at the same centre-of-mass energy. Consistently, an increase of $R_{\rm AA}$ is observed towards low $p_{\rm T}$. These observations might be indicative of a sizable contribution of charm quark coalescence to the J/$\psi$ production. Additionally, the fraction of non-prompt J/$\psi$ from beauty hadron decays, $f_{\rm B}$, has been determined in the region 1.5 < $p_{\rm T}$ < 10 GeV/$c$ in three centrality intervals. No significant centrality dependence of fB is observed. Finally, the $R_{\rm AA}$ of non-prompt J/$\psi$ is discussed and compared with model predictions. The nuclear modification in the region 4.5 < $p_{\rm T}$ < 10 GeV/$c$ is found to be stronger than predicted by most models.
